Engagement Celebrations of Chriss Greenland and Ritch Greenwood

As the premier wedding venue in Lancashire, here at The Great Hall we love any wedding news. So, you can imagine our delight and excitement when a member of our ‘Dream Team’ announced that she was engaged! Yippee!

We were delighted Chriss Greenland, general manager extraordinaire of The Great Hall at Mains became engaged to Ritch in the beautiful city of Verona last week. On her return to the office we couldn’t resist getting all the juicy gossip!

Of course we must share all the details with all of our lovely followers, many of whom know Chriss  - having had their own wedding here at The Great Hall, or are due to be married here under the watchful eye of Chriss over the coming months. Read on!

TGH: Hurrah and congratulations on your engagement! When did you and Ritch meet?
Chriss: Our first date was on the 2^nd June 2010 at "The Tickled Trout" in Preston. We met through the online dating site ‘Plenty of Fish’.

TGH: How and where did your lovely fiance pop the question? Were you expecting it?

Chriss: Ritch proposed on Wednesday 26^th October 2011 on Juliet’s Balcony in the beautiful city of Verona, Italy. We had flown out the day before, however Ritch had bought the ring and planned the proposal in August when we booked the trip. It was totally unexpected, but a fantastic surprise and incredibly romantic.

Unlucky chaps! You're a few hours too late!

TGH: Do you have any dates in mind yet for the big day?

Chriss: All systems go for Saturday 6th October 2012!

TGH: Engagement celebrations must be on the cards, we love a good excuse for a party. Are you going to have an engagement party and do you have a venue in mind? Obviously we can recommend a great one……!

Chriss:  We haven’t talked about it yet however we will most definitely be doing something with those who we know can ‘do it’ best!

How very exciting - we took the opportunity today to decorate the office with banners and balloons for the occasion rounded off with a celebratory glass of bubbly.

We can’t wait to celebrate the impending nuptials with Chriss and Ritch.

Many many congratulations to you both.

Love from all of us at The Great Hall
